Move over Lomography - enter Oktomat

Posted on Sep 29, 06 02:48 AM PDT

Remember the Lomography craze a few years back? The folks who brought you the Lomograph decided they needed more money, and thus has introduced the Oktomat to help you part with your hard-earned dough. It comes with a total of 8 lenses this time, and at $40 a pop, you can hardly expect the kind of image quality found in photos shot with a Carl Zeiss lens. The Oktomat takes 8 photos at the touch of a button in a 2.5 second, serial succession in order to recreate art. It has not moved into the digital realm yet at this moment, using a standard 35mm film and traditional processing methods - hence the relatively low price. Pursuing this hobby could be costly in the long run, so make sure you know what you're getting yourself into in the first place. More features are available after the jump.
